Little Sénégal Régie: Rachid Bouchareb 2000 (93’) Little Sénégal Régie: Rachid Bouchareb 2000 (93’) Passionné par l'histoire de son peuple, Alloune, un vieux guide du musée africain "La Maison des Esclaves" à Gorée, part en pèlerinage pour retrouver les descendants de ses ancêtres aux Etats-Unis. Cet émouvant voyage va le mener des côtes de Caroline du Sud au quartier de Harlem où vit la communauté africaine, Little Senegal. Alloune, animé par l'idée de réunir sa famille par delà les siècles et les frontières, remonte jusqu'à une lointaine cousine, Ida, qui ignore tout de son passé. Le vieil homme croise également les chemins de son neveu Hassan, chauffeur de taxi clandestin, de sa fiancée Biram, d'Eileen, enceinte et fugueuse, et de Karim, qui cherche à faire un mariage blanc pour obtenir la carte verte. Tous les quatre comprennent mal la quête d'Alloune. Le vocabulaire : Les ancêtres : ceux qui ont vécu avant nous – les aïeux - l'aïeul Le neveu : fils du frère ou de la soeur Le petit-fils : fils du fils ou de la fille La généalogie : recherche sur les origines et la composition d’une famille Les barreaux : barres de métal qui servent de fermeture à une porte ou fenêtre Les frais de recherche : les coûts Il a été confié : il a été donné Trois traits de la bouche à la pommette – pommette : partie saillante de la joue S’échapper : s’enfuir Je m’en fous, je m’en tape : (fam.) je m’en fiche Un dépotoir : dépôt d’ordure Je me méfie des africains – se méfier : ne pas faire confiance Tu y tiens à ce boulot : (fam.) ce travail est important pour toi Ficelle-moi ça - ficeler : attacher avec une ficelle La patronne – le patron : le chef Le bonnet : coiffure souple et sans bords La fugue : partir sans permis de la maison familiale Elle traîne dans les rues – glander dans le coin : aller sans but, ne rien faire de précis Tu te fous de moi ?: (fam.) tu te moques de moi ? Je ne veux pas dévoiler mes secrets : révéler ce qui est caché Le nez épaté : nez gros court et large Tu sais que dalle : (fam.) tu ne sais rien Le courrier : les lettres Pigé : (fam.) compris Tu causes : (fam.) tu parles Des pompes rouges – des godasses : (fam.) des chaussures Le pognon, le fric : (fam.) l’argent Ras-le-bol : (fam.) fait d’être excédé On a tout mélangé - embrouillé : on a tout confondu Baiser : (fam.) faire l’amour La muscu : (abréviation) la musculation Les intentions de Rachid Bouchareb : Je me suis interrogé sur les relations qui pouvaient exister entre l'Afro-américain et l'Africain, deux siècles après la déportation par les Européens de millions d'Africains vers l'Amérique. Que se passe-t-il lorsqu'un Africain, deux cents ans après, vient dire à un Afro- américain : "j'ai fait de longues recherches et je vous ai retrouvé, nous sommes de la même famille, nous avons la même terre, les mêmes racines. .

  • Broadband and the Digital Divide
    Legislative Affairs One Whitehall Street New York, NY 10004 212-607-3300 www.nyclu.org Testimony of Allie Bohm On Behalf of the New York Civil Liberties Union Before the New York City Council Committee on Technology and Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises Regarding Oversight: Broadband and the Digital Divide October 13, 2020 The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is grateful for the opportunity to submit the following testimony regarding broadband and the digital divide. The NYCLU, the New York State affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, is a not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization with eight offices across the state and over 180,000 members and supporters. The NYCLU defends and promotes the fundamental principles and values embodied in the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, and the New York Constitution through an integrated program of litigation, legislative advocacy, public education, and community organizing. Due to COVID-19, for the last seven months, New Yorkers have been living much of our lives online. Even as New York City slowly re-opens, many continue to rely on the internet to work, attend school, go to the doctor, seek entertainment, and visit with loved ones. Unfortunately, New Yorkers do not all have access to the high-speed internet that would allow us to participate in a hearing like this. Against this backdrop, the Committee and Subcommittee’s focus on broadband and the digital divide is particularly timely. Digital Redlining Across the five boroughs, between 17 and 20 percent of New Yorkers lack internet access.1 Predictably, the brunt of the digital divide falls on particular communities.

    PLACE-BASED COMMUNITY BROWNFIELD PLANNING FOUNDATION REPORT ON EXISTING CONDITIONS EAST HARLEM, MANHATTAN FINAL SEPTEMBER 2016 BILL deBLASIO MAYOR DANIEL C. WALSH, Ph.D. DIRECTOR Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation This document was prepared by the New York City Department of City Planning for the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation and the New York State Department of State with state funds provided through the Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program. CONTENTS PURPOSE 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5 PART ONE Geography and Land Use 10 Demographic and Economic Profile 28 Recent Public Initiatives and Private Investments 35 PART TWO Environmental Conditions 41 Potential Strategic Sites 43 KEY FINDINGS AND NEXT STEPS 57 APPENDIX 58 PURPOSE This existing conditions foundation report was commissioned by the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) to help community members and community-based organizations (CBO’s) conduct place-based planning for revitalization of vacant and underutilized brownfield properties. Place- based planning by community groups is supported by OER under the NYC Place-Based Community Brownfield Planning Program and by the New York State Department of State in the Brownfield Opportunity Area Program. To advance implementation of plans, OER provides financial and technical assistance to CBO’s for cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield properties and seeks to help people foster greater health and well-being in their neighborhoods. Brownfields are vacant or underutilized properties where environmental pollution has deterred investment and redevelopment. Pollution introduces many risks to land development and often causes community and private developers to pass over these properties, especially in low-income neighborhoods where land values may be depressed and insufficient to cover added cleanup costs.
